I'm really not a fan of interfering with markets by way of government intervention via tariffs, but I have no problem with government trying to build pride in it's own peoples products.
True, but given that this is EDU and likely won;t impact market as clause 4 indicates means that it should apply as fair use (IANAL either), textbooks on the other hand would have clause 4 severly impacted, thus fair use would not apply.
I've had some discussions about this, and from what I can tell communism works rather well if you have small groups (less than 100) and everyone is out for the greater good. Problem is the system can't scale without either utopia or authority, and since the system doesn't have checks on the authority, once you get a bad apple in there all hell breaks loose. Of course as Charles Manson showed, all hell can break loose in smaller groups as well...
I've often wondered what a society that was composed of "island communes" that were then knitted into a capitalist framework would be like.
hand tools bought from China have never held up for me as well as American made tools. Especially cutting tools like metal shears. The chinese ones nick easier because they use a lower cost (and thus softer) steel rather tan tool steel which is much harder, but more expensive and harder to work.
It's not that it is an additional chip, it is a different chip all together.
For example: the ICH (southbridge) on your system likely handles the following things for you: keyboard/mouse USB IDE SATA FireWire Lan on Motherboard Boot from BIOS WebCam
Using an ARM/ARC/MIPS core + SRAM added to the circuit of the ICH and fabbed as a "special item" one could conceivably manufacture motherboards with a larger than spec flashrom (to hold NVRam data for the extra proc) and so long as your system was on (possibly even "off" but plugged in if you can make it low enough power to run on standby voltage) you can datalog nearly anything. Parse the data for the interesting bits and store that to a hidden file on the HDD (since you're the controller for the HDD this should be trivial, no one will miss 1 meg of sectors you've marked bad). When you have an internet connection SSH over to your drop server (you run the ethernet MAC remember) and unload your stash.
Really not all that far fetched and as long as the government pays for it (the fab of chips) you can sub these into assembly and not even no there was something wrong on the system even with a physical inspection.
US Code Title17, Chapter1, ss107 is crystal clear:
the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.
I don't see that as MS's fault per se. I realize there could be some smarts built into the system that would notice the two threads IO blocking each other and put them into serial operations, but really, you would have to make the CP operation more complex and have some sort of -nice kernel flag that each program could register... All in all the complexity is not worth the improvement. -nB
yeah, it was the one before god emperor, Children of Dune. I felt like I was slogging through mud to get through parts of it, but you could clearly tell it was setting all the elements on the stage for a great scene just around the corner.
Jackson:
* Dune (1965)
* Dune Messiah (1969) Warchowski brothers:
* Children of Dune (1976)
* God Emperor of Dune (1981) Zack Snyder:
* Heretics of Dune (1984)
* Chapterhouse Dune (1985)
filmed simultaneously as 2 or three movies of 150 min each for each book as needed. Different actors for each director (age appropriate, eases the logistics of concurrent filming). Draconian scriptwriter editor for continuity of theme.
That should be a total of 15 movies each 2.5 hours. I think I would be in nirvana.
Honestly, not Dune specifically, but I *wish so hard* that just once a studio would grow the balls to do one of the great sci-fi stories in that level of detail, even if it was one book (Friday comes to mind for a single book).
I think Dune its self is a decent read. If you intend to read the universe though, the middle (god emperor or the book immediately preceding, don't remember) is a really slow read. To me the entire universe volume describes a nearly perfect bathtub curve of reading enjoyment. Thing is, the universe is so rich and complex (like Heinlein's future history), that tons of backstory is required for the end story to be capable of its full enjoyment...
Been jumped outside of school, been beat up, tossed in the dumpster. That one incident was where all that rage was channeled. I was not stronger, nor was I a better fighter. I was angrier and he thought he could pick on me like everyone else. -nb
last case I was in someone tried the overt ethnic slur... Judge excused them and found them in contempt.
I don't think that turned out the way they had planned. As for me, it's easy. I *want* to serve, for some reason that seems to get me 'preemptively excused' every time, usually be the defense. -nB
after coming home with 'yet another bruise' my dad said fsck it, defend yourself. (our school was one where any fight led to both parties being suspended, etc.) So this one kid who had called me a goat fscker every day for nearly an entire year ultimately had his larynx broken by my thumbs.
never got picked on one single time after that day.
Bullies "sense" meekness and thrive on pounding away at those people. If the people getting bullied turned on their aggressors violently and unilaterally you would find much less bullying going on.
True, but honestly I think my company expenses their payroll as marketing (Look we pay for devs!) more than engineering... Doesn't mean they aren't engineers, just that, well, I think they're PR show ponies too.
What I think they do is get a kernel dev on the line if that's what it takes to resolve my issue (which is funny because my company has a couple kernel devs on the payroll). Seriously, they (RHEL) make their living by making my engineering department's life easier. We're predominately a windows shop, a fortune 50 company, but we also use linux a lot... and most of it is RHEL.
that's basically what we do. After doing the math: Our kids go to a better school than most (requires parent participation and *some* money [$1K/yr ish]) Our kids have a parent at home who can see to their needs and continue their education where schools are lacking (physical and performing arts, science, sports). Our meals are healthier, and more fulfilling (just look at my waistline...) and cheaper. Home cooked from scratch foods are lower in preservatives, salt, nitrates, and other random shit. We're not talking health-nut foods, just regular family meals like mom and dad did 30 years ago. In all reality, if you look at where your money is going when you have kids in a two income household, you may be surprised that your standard of living, kids grades, and family health will go up if you can get one parent to be able to stay home. At first it's really hard, but slowly you can work into it. The "want it all" attitude has to go though. You really do have to give up buying that latest gadget/TV/ATV/whatever when it's new. but you can plan the purchase and save up and buy it later.
In my kids' school many (most?) of the families are single income, or one full time, one part time parent. Not surprising considering the demands the school places on parent participation, but still... you can pick out the bad parents a mile away and they don't usually stay past the third grade from what I understand. -nB

It's cooler to use nitric to add nitrogen groups to carbon chains!
I suppose it's actually hotter now that I think about it...
Where is Gotmo?
Is that the new notInTheUSSoWeDontHaveToAccountForOurActionsThere replacement for Gitmo from the Obamma administration?
(FWIW, not nazi-ing, just too easy to poke at both administrations at the same time. Ying-Yang and all that jaz)
True.
Sadly the media would have you think otherwise, and the vast majority get their opinion handed to them on the TV.
I get my opinions from the /. groupthink hivemind.

It's not as far fetched as you think.
Intel has been developing a "manageability engine" that lives in the ICH and MCH. Now while this is on the up and up, the tech is obviously there.

Most of Intel's flash was sold off with the ST merger to create Numonyx. The NAND flash is made with Micron in Boise Idaho

It's still ok to trust groupthink right?
I mean groupthink is doubleplusgood, so I can still trust it right?
Oh, and I have a note from minilove for you.
hand tools bought from China have never held up for me as well as American made tools.
Especially cutting tools like metal shears. The chinese ones nick easier because they use a lower cost (and thus softer) steel rather tan tool steel which is much harder, but more expensive and harder to work.
Of course I pay a lot more for the better tools

Fair use still applies to the whole movie:
US Code Title17, Chapter1, ss107 is crystal clear:

I think you're vastly overstating the popularity of that version. It's completely forgettable.
No, it's not. Those who forget history...
Let's not make the next Dune the same as the last, or the one before that, or the one before that.
